Yesterday, I wrote an expose on the Chicago gay talk show “Only@Brunch”, hosted by Jared Hall with co-hosts Bradley Thomas Balof, Jesse Budlong, Terrence Chappell, Craig Alexander Rathwell, and Brian Felder because their broadcast not only included the stereotypically catty and low-information attacks on conservative and Christian women (like Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Governor Sarah Palin) that much of America expects from the gay community (as shameful as this reality may be), but really crossed a line of poor taste by mocking Trig Palin, a special needs toddler (pictured above), who is happily living his life and bringing great joy...

Palin Emails: A Down Syndrome Baby Will "Expand Your World" Wasilla, AK -- The media has bee intently focused on the personal and private emails former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sent out during her time leading the state and, while they haven’t turned up anything embarrassing, one email about her son Trig is quite touching. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/06/13/palin-emails-a-down-syndrome-baby-will-expand-your-world

Gov. Sarah Palin was working with her staff on various issues on her plate on the day she reported she had gone into early labor with her fifth child, Trig, in April 2008. Neither Palin nor her staff mention the possibility of her being in labor or giving birth prior to an announcement, and she signals no urgency about her travel or condition to her staff in the e-mails released for that period. Palin was in Dallas on April 17, 2008, and about to give a speech for the Republican Governors Association when she said she began leaking amniotic fluid...

In the days after her son Trig was born, Sarah Palin received an outpouring of support and well wishes, many from other parents of children with Down syndrome. Most notable among these was Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), whose son Cole was born with Down syndrome. "The hardest part is hearing the news and getting your arms around a new reality," she wrote in an intimate email. "However, you quickly develop new hopes and dreams for your son." McMorris Rodgers invited Palin to call her if she ever wanted to talk. "I can testify to the 'unspeakable joy' of raising...

Not long after she announced her fifth pregnancy, Sarah Palin faced rumors that it was her daughter Bristol who was having the child — Trig Palin, who was born on April 18, 2008. That falsehood sprung up again months later, during the 2008 presidential campaign, and it has continued to circulate on blogs despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The e-mails released Friday show that the rumors began very early on. On April 6, 2008, Palin wrote staffers and her husband, Todd, “Sounds like The Bristol rumor was started and continues via Lyda’s office,” a reference to then-state Senate President...

Being a Palin apologist is risky business. There is always the chance, I suppose, that Sarah will do something that legitimizes the perpetual moonbattery that oozes from the cracks of what’s left of popular culture in America. (By the way, is Larry Flynt still a liberal icon after his recent attack on that right-wing nut Trig Palin?) The liberal blogosphere pretends that conventional wisdom has established beyond doubt that Sarah Palin is a moron. But from their stunted battlement ignorant misfires occur on a daily basis. How smart do you have to be to avoid mentioning a Down Syndrome affected...

Pornographer Larry Flynt Calls Palin's Down Syndrome Son 'Brain Dead Vegetable' By Noel Sheppard Created 05/28/2011 - 6:06pm By Noel Sheppard | May 28, 2011 | 18:06 Following in the footsteps of the liberal website Wonkette, pornographer Larry Flynt called Sarah Palin's Down Syndrome son Trig "brain dead - a virtual vegetable." Such was reported by Britain's Independent Friday: It's hard to keep him focused on this subject, or any subject. His conversation skids about. He doubts Barack Obama would cheat on his wife because: "You ever looked at her? If he ever cheated on her she'd kick his ass....

By Patrick "Facts need testimony to be remembered and trustworthy witnesses to be established in order to find a secure dwelling place in the domain of human affairs. From this, it follows that no factual statement can ever be beyond doubt—as secure and shielded against attack as, for instance, the statement that two and two make four. It is this fragility that makes deception so very easy up to a point, and so tempting. It never comes into a conflict with reason, because things could indeed have been as the liar maintains they were. Lies are often much more plausible,...

Trig Trutherism, the surprisingly resilient conspiracy theory that Sarah Palin is not actually the mother of 3-year-old Trig Palin, is experiencing a boomlet thanks to a new academic paper that endorses the concept. Long pursued by the blogger Andrew Sullivan and a significant segment of the Palin-hating left, Trig Trutherism holds that Trig's real mother is either Bristol Palin or some third party, and that Sarah Palin herself faked the pregnancy to avoid embarrassment for her daughter or for political gain or some combination of reasons. In light of the recent attention this subject has received and the considerable passion...

Social media has become an important part of our lives. Especially Twitter. I know a lot of folks spend time on Facebook networking, and hooking up, but Twitter is the undisputed king when it comes to getting information out fast, and is by far the best way to organize a group of people, and inspire them to act. In the Middle East, Twitter was used with great effectiveness by Liberty and Freedom seeking protesters. People in Iran, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Libya have all used this social media to help effect change, or at least attempt change. The...

The problem with the Sarah Palin dialogue that's gone on in this country since 2008 is that people either want to smear and destroy her, or viciously attack anybody who doesn’t adore her. That’s exactly why I’ve steered clear of it. But once folks start bringing people’s special needs children into the mix… It’s time to start putting the stamp on some elitist bastards. The topic of Sarah Palin has been open season to the media, entertainment industry and club comics alike. Unlike the propped up golden family in the white house, the Hollywood establishment has deemed the doggy pile-on...

As NewsBusters reported Wednesday, the liberal website Wonkette published a truly disgraceful piece earlier in the week about Sarah Palin's Down's syndrome son Trig. Under intense pressure from readers and advertisers, the site's editor took the post down Thursday: A post on this page satirizing Sarah Palin using her baby as a political prop was very badly done and sounded like the author was mocking the child and not just Sarah Palin/Sarah Palin’s followers. The writer, Jack Stuef, has apologized for it. And we have decided to remove the post as requested by some people who have nothing to do...

On Monday, the editor of left-leaning political satire site Wonkette wrote a piece titled "Greatest Living American: A Children’s Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday." The piece lampooned what's known as the "cult of Trig," the rabid fans of Sarah Palin's Down Syndrome youngest child, and accused Palin of using her now three-year-old son as a prop. Needless to say, many readers were offended by Jack Stuef's post and an online movement started to defund Wonkette by targeting its advertisers. The problem is that Wonkette has a lot of contextual ads, creating a headache for brands targeted in the...

More Companies Pull Ads From Wonkette After Trig Palin Post More companies have joined Papa Johns, Huggies and Vanguard in dropping ads from the liberal, pro-abortion blog Wonkette after it ran a crass post mocking Sarah Palin and her son trig, who has Down Syndrome. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/04/21/more-companies-pull-ads-from-wonkette-after-trig-palin-post/

Freedom of Speech is power. But so is money. I could philosophically debate which is more powerful and how our history has shown this or that or blah blah yada yada cue Charlie Brown's teacher in the background, but I won't. Why? Because speaking up for someone who cannot speak for themselves is more important than either. I'd send you directly to the article online that spews hate towards a mentally disabled child, but they do not deserve the views that pay for their pitiful existence. Instead, please click HERE for screen prints by the brilliant Dana Loesch of the...

As you all are probably aware by now, the leftist publication known as Wonkette attacked Trig Palin on his birthday. They didn’t stop there… They attacked Governor Palin, Todd Palin, and other members of the family by the end of the day. The “editor” released what he called an “apology,” but anyone with half a brain knows that it wasn’t. We’ll have full coverage tomorrow but for now, the governor sent this message to all of the people who stood up on Twitter today, in defense of the special needs community and basic human decency:

Sites like Wonkette are the overflowing Porta-Potties of the Left. The writers luxuriate in fetid puddles of their own waste, lusting after the next opportunity to belch forth their sewage into the blogosphere. Wonkette‘s vile, dehumanizing mockery of Trig Palin on his third birthday is just the latest eruption of filth–far from the first and you can be damn sure it’s not the last. Why? Because Wonkette bloggers don’t just wallow in sludge, they traffic in it. Wonkette intentionally hires despicable, soulless writers who relish the chance to call Trig Palin “retarded,” and it’s not just because they enjoy being...

Know what doesn't go over well with advertisers? Making fun of disabled children. On April 18, political blog Wonkette published a post titled "Greatest Living American: A Children's Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday" (none of which we will quote here). Trig, for those who don't remember, is Sarah Palin's youngest son, who has Down Syndrome. The initial response to this "celebration" of Trig's birthday was limited to comments getting in on the action, contributing the sort of jokes that would make Gilbert Gottfried proud. But then, according to Slate's David Weigel, conservative bloggers stumbled across it and the...

This is what needs to be done and thanks to sites like Twitter and to citizen journalism, it can happen. Papa Johns was alerted to the beyond odious post on Wonkette and, as a result, they say they are taking steps to ensure their ads no longer appear on the sewer slime trash site. @robertcurlin Thank you for alerting us to this. We’ve taken steps to make sure our advertising doesn’t appear on that site in the future. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to robertcurlin If you choose to be disgusting and vile in order to garner the...
